A LaRouche Idea Whose Time Has Come
On Wednesday, July 3, Lyndon LaRouche addressed a gathering of over 100 prominent elected officials, economists, Vatican representatives and civic leaders at the Sala Auditorium of the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Agneli, in Rome, Italy, on the subject of his longstanding proposal for the convening of a New Bretton Woods Conference, to put the present bankrupt world monetary and financial system through an orderly bankruptcy reorganization. The goal of such an effort by sovereign governments would be to create the preconditions for the launching of a global economic recovery, through the issuance of long-term, low-interest credits, earmarked for large-scale high-technology development projects, centered around LaRouche's proposal for the Eurasian Land-Bridge.
Among the leading Italian political figures who joined LaRouche were Dr. Nino Galloni, the director general of the Italian Labor Ministry; and Senator Oskar Peterlini, the author of an Italian Senate and Chamber of Deputies resolution, calling upon the Italian government to take the lead in convoking a conference of nation-states to establish a new global monetary system.

Over the past 60 days, Lyndon LaRouche has been a featured speaker at major policy conferences, and intensive private discussions, in the United Arab Emirates; in Sao Paulo, Brazil; in Switzerland; and Rome. It may fairly be said that Lyndon LaRouche is one of the most in-demand policy makers on the planet today—and for good reason.

The major audience for the Declaration of Independence was not domestic, but those nations from which the American colonies were seeking recognition, commerce, and alliances in the war against the British Monarchy. Would they treat with the newly declared independent nation, despite the virulent opposition of the British?
Indeed, the Declaration was explicit in terms of its international focus. First, from the first paragraph, it couched its argument in relation to the "opinions of mankind" as a whole, not simply to citizens of the colonies. Second, the final substantive sentence laid out what the emerging United States wished to exercise: "full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do."
There was no question but that the British would do everything possible to prevent recognition. Already, by July 13, Ambrose Serle, the secretary to Britain's chief General, Lord Howe, had written in his diary that "a more impudent, false and atrocious Proclamation was never fabricated by the Hands of Men." Four copies made their way to London, and by mid-August, it began to be published in the London press, followed by Edinburgh, Dublin, and Leiden (Holland).
In September the Declaration was published in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Florence, Italy. A German translation appeared in Basel, Switzerland in October.

LaRouche discusses monetary and financial reform with political leaders in Rome
ROME, July 2 (EIRNS)—Lyndon LaRouche was the main speaker here today at an EIR conference, convened to discuss the world strategic and economic crisis and ways to build support for his "New Bretton Woods" policy.
Delusion, and the Road to Dictatorship
When U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft announced the suspension of the 'Church Committee Guidelines/Restrictions' on the activities of the FBI and other agencies of the U.S. Justice Department on May 30, the United States took another giant step in the direction of becoming the hell that was the Nazi Germany dictatorship of the 1930s.
Stop the 'New Violence,' Create a New Renaissance
"...It is a great honor for me to be able to speak to you on the subject of the New Violence today. Actually, this is a phenomenon which threatens human civilization in the same way as a new global epidemic, and I have launched an interna-tional campaign for the banning and outlawing of this media violence and of media products which glorify violence...."
World Financial System Enters the Obituary Phase
With major corporations exploding like July 4th fireworks, global stock markets plunging from bubbly effervescence into the abyss, and financial crises spinning out of control from Brazil to Japan, panic is spreading wildly.
The Wertham Campaign Against Violent Comics
The German-American psychiatrist Frederic Wertham (1905-81) was the moral and intellectual leader of a campaign, which began in 1948, to eliminate what he called 'the curse of the comic books.'
Violent Video Games Rated for 'Everyone'
In the wake of the April 26 massacre of 17 students and teachers by a student at a high school in Erfurt, Germany, Schiller Institute Chairwoman Helga Zepp-LaRouche has called for an international United Nations protocol to ban violent video games.
Bush and New Sharon War Drive
President George W. Bush's long-awaited June 24 speech in the Rose Garden, in which he spelled out his so-called "vision" for Mideast peace, has in fact set the region on a war path, in which Israel's "New Hitler," Ariel Sharon, is now even threatening to use nuclear weapons against the Arab world and, possibly, against other targets as well.
U.S. Policies Hand South America Over to Narcoterrorists
Events in South America expose the Bush Administration's supposed global war against anti-terrorism, to be a monstrous combination of fraud and incompetence.
Brazil Blowout is Not "Contagion"
As we go to press, Brazil's debt bubble is exploding, just as Democratic Presidential pre-candidate Lyndon LaRouche said it would, during his historic June 10-14 trip to the South American giant.
U.S. Economic House Burning, All But LaRouche Deny It
In the high-level, bipartisan 'WorldCom flap' of the week of June 24, American elected leaders from President Bush on expressed their concern to do something about newspaper headlines, while showing an equal bipartisan lack of concern to do anything to save the U.S. economy and U.S. dollar from their collapse.
Food Shortfalls Leave 800 Million Hungry
The World Food Summit of the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, which occurred at the beginning of June in Rome, was supposed to assemble the world's heads of state, to inaugurate the struggle against hunger with common efforts.
Australian FDR-Era Engineer: Let's Resume Great Projects
